In what can only be described as a miracle, I have fully caught up on Doctor Who.
I've got mixed feelings about 13's run/the Chibnall era. I guess the briefest version is I wish the great cast was better served by the writing. I assume COVID threw a monkey wrench into the works as well, especially with how disjointed Flux was.
I am curious how Flux and the Timeless Child stuff are handled going forward. I'm guessing mostly ignored.
Sacha Dhawan chewing scenery as The Master was probably the biggest highlight. (The Daleks and Cybermen exchanging confused glances while he danced to Rasputin was tremendous)
Jericho and Dan were fun companions...I could have done with a longer run for Jericho. Yaz....I don't know. I feel like the show kept telling me she was great and that she and the Doctor had great chemistry, but I was never really feeling it.
Shout out to some excellent costumes - Karvanista, the Ood in Flux, and the Sea Devils all looked AMAZING. I frankly hope they retcon the fate of the Lupari, or revisit them in an earlier time, because they are a great concept and I'd love to find out if they come in different dog breeds. Shame we only got to see one. (I assume the costume was expensive)
Favorite episodes: Demons of the Punjab, Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, The Haunting of Villa Diodati (the Frankenstein one), Eve of the Daleks (The New Years Eve time loop one)

Full trailer coming the day of Eurovision. I have this sneaking suspicion from a few of the freeze frames in this trailer that the next opening will be at least a partial shot-for-shot remake of Tom Baker's time vortex. Seems kind of a no-brainer given the shift back to the diamond logo and the anniversary, and honestly in the grand scheme of things Who hasn't had too many direct remakes of things of that sort so I'm actually quite curious to see how it comes out.

Season 24 fans are thriving lately.
(Also, fun casting trend I noticed, RTD has recently cast three of the people who played Melchior Gabor in the musical Spring Awakening. Both Jonathan Groff and Aneurin Barnard will be in the upcoming series, and Laurie Kynaston was the voice of the Hodiac in the Big Finish adaptation of his original script. So y'know, somewhere to watch out for any other names who might be turning up.)

I wonder if that's been broadcast on Sky Arts?

It's been good times for us McCoy fans recently.
Now bring back the original Kandy Man, you cowards. Maynards Bassetts be damned.

From Russel's production notes in DWM A scene from the last block of filming: Kandyman will make for an odd choice as far as cameos go, but RTD will make it work within context.
